Oti asked: ‘And it was love at first sight?’ 

Coleen replied: ‘No it was for him, not for me. He fought to get me, yeah. 

‘I waited until I’d done my GCSEs and then I went on a date. I was pretty good at school.’

It comes after Coleen revealed that not all her boys would be jetting over to Oz to greet her when she exits the jungle, she told The Mirror: ‘My two youngest ones are coming over.

‘They all had the option but the two older ones decided that they would stay at home to continue with school and football. 

‘I think I said when you come you’ll have to bring your work with you, and they would be missing some football tournaments, so they quickly changed their minds! And also the fact that they don’t know when they get to see me. 

‘That was another big thing, is if I did last and stayed in close to the end, there’s not going to be any time spent with me so I explained that.’

‘It’s the first time she has left them for any period of time.

And whilst she and Wayne are used to spending time apart due to his football commitments managing down in Plymouth, 260-miles away from the family home in Chesire, Coleen rarely spends a day away from her four sons, however he eldest son is thought to be very excited about her entering the jungle.

The source added: ‘Coleen was nervous about the effect going into the jungle would have on the kids as she has never spent more than a night or two away from them.

‘But she is leaving them in good hands as her parents are moving in to look after them.
